McLean is a legit RoTY candidate. Below average BB% (7.4%) while striking out over 30% of the batters he faces. Griffin's numbers are good even after blowing up his last time out, but he's more homer prone. Low batting average against and a low BABIP help his ERA.

Young has the night off. Not clear if he's getting it off because the new/old kid in town is relegating Young to a platoon guy / defensive replacement or because of the injury. It may be that the Chaparro call up was not announced at the same time as the Crews call up was because the Nats wanted to see if Young or Wiemer needed the IL.

Vivas gets tonight's start at 3rd vs a strong righty. The defense improves in the infield with Nunez back in at 2B and Vivas sliding over to 3B.

Millas gets 2 nights in a row in the heat behind the plate. Stay hydrated. IDK if there's something about McLean's stuff that might make Millas better suited or whether Griffin has a preference.

Mets have called up another prospect, Nick Morabito, for tonight.

rain delay. Raining buckets in Crystal City, so close to the ballpark.

Griffin strikes midnight.

Gonna be able to use a position-player pitcher early tonight...

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #17 on:** May 19, 2026, 07:37:59 pm »

I’m out. This is gonna be a brutal game. Mets starter has been lights out and hasn’t allowed more than three runs in a start so our offense is gonna be non existent.

could be why Crews was called up.

Kinda surprised they didn’t make a bullpen move.

Seemed close enough to challenge?

Nasty stuff. Unhittable.

Man, I hope the team I'm against in fantasy doesn't have Bichette
